  • gameplay76 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of fun mechanics, particularly in multiplayer and sandbox modes, with a strong emphasis on gore and physics. However, many players find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in depth after a few hours, with limited modes and some frustrating mechanics. While the graphics and movement are praised, issues like broken hitboxes and a toxic multiplayer environment detract from the overall experience.

    • β€œπŸ©ΈπŸ˜ˆ The gameplay is super fun, and the gore and physics are incredible.”
    • β€œSatisfying violent sandbox gameplay.”
    • β€œOutstanding game, great fun with friends and surprisingly detailed response mechanics!”
    • β€œCool game but gets boring after 15 hours; variations of the gameplay are limited, and there are not many things to do here.”
    • β€œMultiplayer is broken; the kick mechanic is annoying and mostly broken. The combat is heavily reliant on RNG, with no real skill involved in fist and kick fighting.”
    • β€œThe main issue is the lack of long-term gameplay.”
  • graphics75 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the vibrant gore and detailed environments, while others note performance issues and bugs that detract from the experience. Some users appreciate the game's ability to run well on lower-end systems, but others criticize the blocky visuals and stuttering performance. Overall, the graphics are described as enjoyable and fitting for a fun, casual shooter, though optimization remains a concern.

    • β€œThe graphics in this game are spectacular; I'm even surprised that my potato laptop can handle it. It's a game I will play over and over again because of how much stuff you can do in it, plus bosses to defeat.”
    • β€œAlso, the graphics in this game are pretty dang beautiful, if I do say so myself.”
    • β€œThis is an absolutely amazing gore simulation with little flaws, awesome graphics, blood simulation, voice acting, and a full vehicle system which all combined brings hundreds of hours of playtime.”
    • β€œGame is a really fun sandbox, but the performance and visuals are atrocious and buggy.”
    • β€œBut as soon as you move, the visuals get very stuttery and look like everything is vibrating quickly, which makes me nauseous just looking at it after a minute.”
    • β€œGraphic is pixel, but how the hell is it laggy for a Unity game.”
  • humor60 mentions

    The humor in the game is predominantly characterized by its over-the-top gore and absurd ragdoll physics, leading to a variety of hilarious moments, especially in multiplayer settings. Players appreciate the comedic value of the game's violent antics, often finding joy in the chaotic interactions and funny deaths, though some note that the humor can become repetitive over time. Overall, the game is seen as a fun outlet for stress relief, combining dark humor with engaging gameplay.

    • β€œVery fun for the time I've played, the other reviews are edgier than the nine-year-olds in this game, which is kind of funny.”
    • β€œFunny but toxic.”
    • β€œExtremely fun and funny with friends.”
  • story57 mentions

    The consensus among users is that the game lacks a traditional story, with many reviews explicitly stating "no story." While players enjoy the random missions and sandbox elements, they express a desire for more structured content, such as a story mode or enhanced mission systems, to enrich the gameplay experience. Overall, the focus remains primarily on gameplay rather than narrative development.

    • β€œThe potential for a campaign with the unique gore system of this game as well as the short time-to-kill (TTK) is exciting. Imagine being deployed on a helicopter, walking through the forest only to hear a mutant. You use your shotgun to blow its head off, find a dirty and dusty facility, kill mutants and other enemies, and eventually face the shadow mutant in a huge room.”
    • β€œThe random missions are awesome and provide a nice time-kill. I would love to see more of these fun and miscellaneous missions!”
    • β€œThere's multiplayer, detailed and fairly realistic gore, many ways to play with, torture, and kill your character and other NPCs. The character customization, in-game workshop, and various scenarios you can create add depth to the gameplay.”
    • β€œThis game isn't a story-driven game and is mainly just a sandbox shooter (in other words, this is just GMod but bad!).”
    • β€œI won't give a final score yet and I won't give more points as I have nothing else to give points on because the story barely exists and there is not much to criticize the game on.”
    • β€œOnly gameplay, doesn't include a story.”
  • stability23 mentions

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches, bugs, and crashes that detract from the overall experience. While many find the gameplay enjoyable and immersive, the persistent technical issues, particularly with NPC behavior and physics, significantly impact performance and user satisfaction. Overall, players express hope for future updates to address these stability concerns.

    • β€œA ton of glitches like neutral/hostile NPCs sometimes just flying away, etc. I think if they fix those types of bugs it would be a lot better, but currently, I don't think it's worth it right now.”
    • β€œBuggy as hell and can crash easily, but it's a good time.”
    • β€œIt's kind of getting worse because the game is getting laggier and there are lots of bugs, and updates are bugged too, so it's still fun, just very buggy sometimes.”
  • grinding23 mentions

    The consensus among users is that the grinding aspect of the game is excessively tedious, often requiring an unrealistic amount of time and effort to progress. Many reviewers express frustration with the repetitive nature of grinding, suggesting that players might need "a second life" to endure it. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing other elements of the game.

    • β€œYou'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • β€œA bit grindy... sometimes.”
    • β€œSave yourself some money and a tedious refund request and just buy Garry's Mod.”
    • β€œMultiplayer doesn't work, characters frequently glitch out, the placeable items are useless unless you're not actually planning to build anything or are just okay with tediously placing walls without them tipping over for like an hour just to make a box... I could go on and on but I'll spare you the details.”
    • β€œYou'll need 10 lives for grinding - Jesus!”
  • optimization16 mentions

    The game's optimization is a mixed bag, with some players reporting decent performance on lower-end systems while others experience significant bugs and poor visuals. While certain aspects, like gore effects, are well-optimized, overall performance can feel inconsistent, with issues such as freezing animations and wacky controls detracting from the experience. Many users suggest that further optimization options could enhance gameplay, particularly for those with less powerful hardware.

    • β€œThe game is good and the optimization is good; my PC isn't very powerful, but it runs at max settings at 60 fps.”
    • β€œPerformance wise is ok (I mean, c'mon on a 4080..) maxes out at 144 fps.”
    • β€œGame is a really fun sandbox, but the performance and visuals are atrocious and buggy.”
    • β€œThe performance, while decent in framerate, and able to run on low-end devices, does not feel smooth at all.”
    • β€œHorribly optimized.”
  • music11 mentions

Many users express a desire for better sound control options, including the ability to disable music entirely.

    • β€œCan't change music volume, only master volume, which means I can't hear anything else.”
  • monetization5 mentions

    The monetization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players feeling that the $7 price tag is justified by the absence of ads, while others criticize it as a cash grab that lacks unique features compared to its mobile counterpart. Overall, players express a desire for more value in the PC version beyond just ad-free gameplay.

    • β€œI appreciate that the game offers a fair monetization model, allowing players to enjoy the core experience without feeling pressured to spend money.”
    • β€œThe in-game purchases are optional and don't hinder gameplay, which makes the experience enjoyable for both free and paying players.”
    • β€œI love that the game provides a balanced approach to monetization, ensuring that players can progress without needing to spend excessively.”
    • β€œAbsolute cash grab.”
    • β€œThis game feels more like its little brother, that being the mobile version but with mouse and keyboard support and luckily no intrusive advertisements.”
    • β€œIf you are being held hostage by the devs and they are forcing you to make ads for the game, you are a tool.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The atmosphere in Gorebox is characterized by its intense and brutal gore, which enhances the game's dark themes, especially when played with friends. However, some players feel that recent updates have diminished the unique ambiance of earlier versions, while the chaotic mix of diverse player demographics contributes to a bizarre yet entertaining environment.

    • β€œGorebox is brilliant; the main part of the game, gore, is executed perfectly to create a brutal and bloody atmosphere. Playing it with a friend is the best way to act out your psychopathic dreams.”
    • β€œThe atmosphere from earlier versions, like the pyro update, has been completely lost due to the changes in the maps and skyboxes, as well as the lighting.”
    • β€œThe mix of players from different backgrounds, battling it out in a gun store roleplay server, really creates a unique and chaotic atmosphere that I highly recommend.”
    • β€œThe atmosphere from earlier versions, like the pyro update, has been completely lost due to the changes in the maps, skyboxes, and lighting.”

    • β€œHeartwarming; I recommend it to parents with kids.”
    • β€œThe game made me feel psychotic; I love that feeling! 10/10.”
    • β€œIt almost made me feel sick; 11/10.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it offers a decent amount of replay value, particularly in multiplayer, others feel it lacks features to sustain long-term interest. Suggestions for improvement include adding workshop support for weapons, NPCs, and items, which could significantly enhance replayability.

    • β€œThis game has a lot of replayability.”
    • β€œMultiplayer is alright but is mostly a very chaotic experience. After doing everything in the game, you might get bored. However, the inclusion of a map workshop inside the game adds potential for replayability. What would make this game even better is support for weapons, NPCs, and items workshop, similar to other sandbox games. This would make it infinitely more replayable!”
    • β€œThis one has very few features to keep it replayable.”
    • β€œMultiplayer is alright but is mostly a very chaotic experience. After doing everything in the game, you get bored. There is a map workshop inside the game, but what would make this game even better and what it needs is weapons/NPC/items workshop support like other similar sandbox games (People Playground, GMod, Pain the Town Red, etc.). It would make this infinitely more replayable for sure!”
